Its come Along way and brings with it many virtues in its development. War and peace as they say love and hate greed, power and solace. So gods rose from the weather lighting our lives, with many names and many different philosophies to help people along or not may be the case. The idea of God may in some sense once the idea of conscious death became apparent and rituals grew to great heights such as the pharaohs and the Tombs at least keeping people employed. The Spanish inquisition and the Christian crusades and today Muslim suicide bombers fighting consumerism all in the name of Gods. Gods seem to have a place on this world of spiritualism.
